FRIENDS Title The One Where the Gang Become the Glee Club Quote of the Week
Jeff: Did Mr Rad kill the last Glee club?
Dean: And to think I trusted him enough to captain a magic carpet in that dream I had last night€ Outstanding Character
Cory Radison or 'Mr Rad' is a one off character but he is so thoroughly memorable that it seems almost impossible to believe he hasn't been in more. The ultimate satire of Will Schuester from Glee, Taran Killam's character just steals the screen whenever he appears. From his vast collection of sweaters to his 'aggressive asexuality' Mr Rad is Glee through and through. Why this Episode is so Good I don't know if anyone still watches, or indeed has ever watched Glee but I've seen enough to know that though scornful this parody is so spot on in every way that it is completely hilarious. From the revelation that Mr Radison shortens his name to 'Mr Rad' to the revelation that the Dean had a dream in which they rode a flying carpet together this episode proves to know more about how Glee works than any one else, including Ryan Murphy.
